Waging love and watching resllient wildlife; this week, we mark the one year anniversary of the 2016 election by asking two charismatic leaders how they keep their sprits brave. Reverend Dr Jacqui Lewis is senior minister at New York’s Middle Collegiate Church and a contributor to the 2017 collection Faith and Resistance in the Age of Trump. Adrienne Maree Brown is co-editor of Octavia’s Brood, Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, and Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds in which she urges activists to become as open to change as nature is.
